'Hero-at-large' to speak at Beadle, April 28
When you first meet him, it is virtually impossible to believe that, standing
here before you in that casual, insouciant slouch, is the very same young man, Horace Julian Bond, who electrified the Chicago Democratic Convention.
Yet, here he is, 28 years old, a ready
six feet one and a half inches tall, 175
pounds, so fair he once had to show an
identification card to prove he should be
refused service in a Georgia coffee shop,
the descendeant of an emancipated slave
and her former owner, a child of the
civil rights movement, a published poet
with a hole in his shoe, a member of the
Georgia House of Delegates by virtue of
a landmark Supreme Court decision and,
by any yardstick of forensic measurement, the clearest, sanest, and one of
the most responsible voices from the
New Left- which, by the way, he
helped to start.
In Chicago, Bond handled himself
with the level-headed self-assurance of a
veteran and won acclaim not only for
his victories there but for the indomitable gall with which he took them.
Hardly had the cathode tubes cooled
across the country when people began
asking each other who this young man
was; and the big-league politicians who
had watched him work their game and
win the huge stakes he had played for
asked themselves what he might become.
Bond and his band of Georgia irregulars triumphed over the hand-picked
crew of the griddle-chef turned governor, Lester Maddox, winning half of
Georgia's 42 floor seats and helping defeat the unit voting rule that had stifled
dissent at so many previous conventions.
This victory and his poised demurral
manner when he himself was nominated
for Vice President all marked him as a
comer, perhaps the prototype of a
whole new breed on the political scene;
young, articulate, well-educated and
determined Negro politicians who must
be included in the political equation
from now on.
Bond began developing his determination and control early. As a boy in
Pennsylvania, where his father, Horace
Mann Bond, was a president of Lincoln
University, he first ran head-on into race
prejudice. When his family moved to
Atlanta, young Julian had already
developed an abiding fear of Southern
whites. Then racism seared him deeply
at George School, a Quaker prep school
in Pennsylvania, when, as a senior, he
was ordered by the headmaster to leave
his school team jacket in the closet on
the occasions he took his white girl
friend along with him into Newton for a
date. "That was just like somebody
stopping you and slapping you across
the face."
But he learned to conceal his hurt and
his outrage behind a facade of cool that
he began consciously to erect around
himself as a teen-ager. Bond's cool was
hardened, tempered and finally burnished to a deceptive patina in the heat
of the South where he went to work as
a civil rights worker. Behind it lurks a
detached, wry, secret humor that takes
very little except the "movement" very
seriously - not even Julian Bond.
Bond was a founder of the Committee
on Appeal for Human Rights (COAHR),
the Atlanta University Center student

THE SERENDIPITY SINGERS - on campus, May 6
They're on their way
Serendipitys to "do their thing'
Believe it or not, GBSC, but Big Name
Entertainment is on its way! The eight
members of a national contemporary
group, better known as the Serendipity
Singers, will ''do their thing' May 6 at
the Memorial Gymnasium. This concert,
the first of its kind in the history of the
college, is sponsored by Student Senate,
Social Committee and Union Board.
They're not hippies and they don't
wear flowers, but the sound of The
Serendipity Singers is as contemporary
as Pop Art. "Music has gone in many
new directions in the last four years,"
comments Jon Arbenz, the group's
unofficial spokesman, "and there's no
reason we shouldn't grow with it."
Because Serendipity emerged during the
folk boom of 1963, complete with
guitars and banjos, they were immediately categorized as folk or
folk/rock singers. In reality, Serendipity
was, and still is, presenting the music of
the times. In these times, the sound is
harder, the lyrics more meaningful and
the music more complex. So are The
Serendipity Singers.
